Friend Friday - Advice

Friend Friday

The Fashion Beauty Friend Friday group was created by Katy over atModly Chic. For the first and third week of each month Katy puts together a set of questions and on Friday if you want to participate, you answer them on your blog and link back up atModly Chic. On the other weeks, FBFF will be doing a Visual Friend Friday.

This week, we're supposed to share the one piece of advice that has made a difference in our life.

When I sat down to think about this FBFF topic, I realized I don't have one piece of advice that someone's given me that I always live by. I certainly make an effort to surround myself with people who's ideas and opinions I respect and take into account, but there's not any singular piece of advice that I always refer back to and I definitely don't make decisions based on what makes the most sense.

If I had listened to what anyone in my life had to say 7 years ago, I would have never even started dating Jared, much less ended up married to him.

If I'd done what was most logical, I would have gone back to a full-time job after I got married instead of going back to college and finishing my degree.

If I hadn't kept making doctor's appointments because I knew something was wrong, I wouldn't have found out I have MS as soon as I did.

So I guess that would mean my piece of advice is

don't listen.

Get opinions, take into consideration what the people close to you have to say, but in the end - trust your gut and do what you want to do.

I'm the same way ... I don't have one piece of advice, either. I kind of make things up as I go along. I know what is right -- at the time, anyway. I go with my heart and my head. However things play out is how they play out. That's really all that you can do.
